Our Clients and Their Dogs Love Working with Us!

Vicki and her dog Ivy

Shawna helped us out with a nervous little girl that would snap at people. She is great and really cares about her students. If you need a little or a lot of help with your pup be sure to ask her for her!

Dawna, Doug and their dog Kili

Shawna is an amazing woman with a heart as BIG as the dogs she helps to transform. She is VERY supportive, patient and calm. Shawna actually got on a skateboard and skinned her knees to desensitize our German Shepherd!

She focuses on the behavior and how to redirect it without the use of negative words or actions and has made the use of prong collars obsolete…much to our delight!

Our dog absolutely LOVES her and our relationship with him has even improved. He was highly reactive before Shawna began training us and we have seen incredible results in just 3 months!

I HIGHLY recommend Shawna…she is a rock star and has changed our lives for the better! She goes above and beyond and then some….Thank you Shawna!!!

Marcella and her dog MurdochWhat an incredible blessing Shawna has been in our lives! She took our previously abused shelter rescue from a timid, insecure, yet aggressive dog to an absolutely different level. Murdoch is now more confident, no longer afraid of strangers, no longer aggressively barks at guests at the front door, and is much less interested in people and other dogs while we walk; most of all, he loves to show off all his new tricks! The change in our foster fail is unbelievable and I cannot say enough good things about Shawna, her amazing techniques, and her warm, loving personality. Shawna and Murdoch bonded quickly after the first few shaky visits, and now he can barely contain himself at the front door when she arrives – he is so excited whenever she comes to visit! He is SUCH a happy boy now!

I highly recommend Shawna as you investigate training for your furry family member. She genuinely loves her ‘students’ (dogs and human alike!) and she is truly one of the most patient and caring people I have ever met. We consider Shawna to be part of the family and will continue to work with her in the future.

One of the most unexpected benefits of Shawna’s training is that I am now a confident and happy Dog Mom, who is much more relaxed and understanding of Murdoch’s reactions and behaviors.

All in all, Shawna did the unbelievable with our boy and we simply cannot thank her enough. Please give yourself and your dog the peace of mind of having a well-trained and well-behaved pet who is confident, happy, and who can truly be loved and cherished!
